Looks like a tow eye cover to me.

It really shouldn't be coming loose so easily, other Golfs you have to tug at it to get it loose.

Take it back to the dealer and have a moan  :wink:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Correct, its probs the two bar, you can see my one here on the MK5 so Id say its a pretty safe bet.



Shouldn't be coming off, sounds like something has snapped, bit of tape or something?
